Description

Description

This controversial book maintains that in Colombia the US has long supported a pervasive campaign of state violence directed against both armed insurgents and a wide range of unarmed progressive social forces. While the context may change from one decade to the next, the basic policies remain the same: maintain the pro-US Colombian state, protect US ecomic interests and preserve strategic access to oil. Colombia is w the third largest recipient of US military aid in the world, and the largest by far in Latin America. Using extensive declassified documents, this book shows that the so-called war on drugs , and w the new war on terror in Colombia are actually part of a long-term Colombian war of state terror that predates the end of the Cold War with US policy contributing directly to the human rights situation in Colombia today.
